I forgot I had read this book before, hate that when that happens. I really enjoy books with monsters or alien ecologies or the like and this had it all. Plus, it had a lot of stupid dessions made by just about all the main characters. At times you just hoped they would die because they would ...
I've read this book twice now. It's not a jaws story, or MEG (I love em both). Know that right now. It's more of a Moby Dick tale. That being said, it's pretty good. It does have some Christian moments, but not the preachy kind, and if it really bothers you THAT much, I don't write reviews f...
I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hand, it's a cool concept: one guy travels back in time to prove Jesus is a fraud, another guy goes back to stop him, another guy goes back to kill them both, and a pesky demon wants to get his/its/their kicks in at the same time. On the other ha...
THE SIGNAL WAS RECEIVEDJon Hudson has become more than just the director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center–Paranormal. He is now a husband and a father, surrounded by a team who have become a family. So when a series of strange new threats rise from the depths and fall from t...
WASHINGTON D.C. HAS BEEN DESTROYEDIn the wake of a Kaiju assault that left the nation’s capital in ruins, Jon Hudson, director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Fusion Center – Paranormal, is preparing his team for an uncertain future. While hiding Lilly, a chimera cat-girl rescued from Is...
Pierce watched as jaws dropped around the room.“Come again, Aleman. Did you say the world was going to end in four days?” Deep Blue’s voice sounded rattled.“That’s what I said. The portals are stabilizing and appearing with more regularity around the world.” Aleman sounded tired, but certain.“Por...
The hour passed quickly. When the distant lights of Miami came into view, the small plane descended toward a dimly lit area in the foreground that could only be Homestead. The ride had been rougher than Jenna expected, but none of her expectations were based on any kind of prior experience. She...
We’re making ground fast. Probably too fast. Every tree and boulder carries a potential death sentence. The key is to stay in the middle, where the water was already deepest, but even here there are dangers, exhaustion being the first. Swimming in placid water can be tiring, even just treading wa...
The sky is thick with haze rising from the damp forest, but last night’s storm has fled and the smoke from the burning lab is far behind us. The forest below stretches to the horizon, the hilly ground rising and falling into the distance like an ocean of pine, frozen in place. The stillness of it...
We step through the door, one at a time, staring at what should have been ruins. But there is no rot, no debris, and no sign of past turmoil. Nor are there any signs of life. The streetlights blaze. Many of the buildings glow from within. But there is no movement. No breeze. The massive cap overh...
“Hello?” “Hello? Dr. Gallo, is it you?” came the reply, an unfamiliar voice. English but the accent was strange. Definitely not Kenner. “Speaking,” Gallo said in a tight, cautious tone. “Thank heavens. Dr. Gallo, I am in the car behind you. Please don’t be alarmed. I mean you no harm.” “Who are y...
Hanging stalactites meant the cavern was at least partly natural. But the walls and floor had been smoothed. And a grid of metal poles held a maze of beams from which hung an endless sea of grated lamps. While much of the floor was smooth matte stone, shiny walkways had been buffed into the floor...
Before we can recover from the blow, the thunderous sound of a MOAB detonating chases the pressure wave and tears through us. If the others are shouting, I have no idea. Even with headphones on, designed to protect the wearer from the constant beat of the rotor blades, the roar has set my ears bu...
Or at least that’s what it feels like. I’m falling, wrapped in the tight embrace of my mortal enemy. But I’m also spinning. No, not spinning...flipping. I’m fli—The impact sends a wave of pain through my body, numbing my toes and fingers. But I’m not dead! And I’m no longer held in place. Despite...
Or rather, she can, but she’s just not very fast. Granted, she’s tired, beat up and overwhelmed, so I should cut her some slack, but the shrieking berserkers not far behind us aren’t going to go easy on her. Still, I can’t make her run any faster. I turn to Kainda, who is ten feet to my left. “We...
It’s Hutch, sounding like a kid at a magic show. And now for my next trick... I drop the now empty gun, draw my knife and shrug. “I lied.” Before anyone can applaud my subterfuge, a chorus of war cries turns us around. While Quinlan was bartering fo...
The rest of my drive is uneventful. Three minutes after leaving the officer behind, I pull to a stop, one hundred yards from the cemetery, and park behind a stand of trees. On my feet, I stalk a little bit closer, allowing the shadowy forest to cloak my approach. I keep track of both worlds by ta...
“Don’t shoot!” screamed a high-pitched voice. For a moment, Hawkins thought it might actually be DeWinter, but her voice sounded more husky than this. “It’s me!” The voice dripped desperation. Hawkins rubbed the sweat from his eyes. He held his fire, but kept the weapon aimed. It could be any num...
She wore a tight beige T-shirt that clung to the firm contours of her breasts, exposing just enough of her décolletage to be enticing without being obvious, and a pair of dark green cargo shorts that had been rolled up a couple of times to reveal even more of her toned and tanned legs. Her long h...
Jupiter always dominated the sky, its yellow, orange and red gases swirling constantly, propelled by storms the size of other planets. Alongside mother Jupiter were the sister moons, Io, Ganymede and Callisto, which glowed dully in orbit alongside Europa, whose icy surface shone brightest of all—...
